There's an obvious upside for those people. Is there any obvious downside for everyone else?


The downside is you don't know if Eva's Blumenladen is wrong or correct spelling, because only as a name it's correct. That creates additional confusion for learners

It's like the Deppen-Bindestrich and ruins the compactness of German spelling.

Maybe english should adapt body back for backpack in exchange.
